Best Picture - Drama

Bet on it:
"The Social Network"
"Black Swan"
"The King's Speech"
"Inception"
Maybe:
"Another Year"
"The Fighter"
"True Grit"
"The Town"
"127 Hours"
"Rabbit Hole"
Lowdown: The word is the HFPA love "The Fighter," but does that mean Paramount's other hopeful "True Grit" doesn't make the cut? It's hard to believe both can make the field. Or, that "Rabbit Hole" or "Another Year" get shafted too? No matter what the case, a number of studios and filmmakers are going to be very disappointed when they don't make the cut in one of the most competitive dramatic globe races in years.

How are Boardwalk Empire/Walking Dead even eligible for the globes at the same time Lost is eligible? Those were two completely different seasons (09-10 for lost, 10-11 for BWE/WD). What is the eligible season for the Globes, just whatever's been on since the last Globes?

Where is the love for The Pacific? You mean no one from that series got a nod? Joe Mazzello, Ashton Holmes, Martin McCann, Rami Malek? None of thes even get a nod? I'm sorry... I am calling BS on this whole award process.

You'll note that "Somebody in 'The Pacific'" is listed as a Dark Horse. Nobody from "The Pacific" got an Emmy nod and that was only against supporting actors from the year's other movies and miniseries. At the Golden Globe, any supporting actor contenders compete against supporting actors from TV shows, movies and everything. Thus, it's just a REALLY hard field for them to crack...

Kaitlin - Although I suspect they have very little chance of being nominated -- "FNL" just isn't a Hollywood Foreign Press kinda show -- my failure to include Chandler and Britton from the Dark Horse lists was a total oversight, now rectified. Thanks!

Ed W - They do, but only if the Golden Globe voters decide that they don't care about the "All for one, one for all" ethos that led the Modern Family stars to all submit as "supporting" for Emmy consideration. And that's difficult to predict simply because *none* of the "Modern Family" co-stars were nominated in any category at the Globes last year.
